A realistic look into the human heart

This movie sort of reminded me of an old fairytale/fable, with a godfather, moral of the story etc. Romance comes second to what is ultimately a slice of life movie.

I feel like the biggest reason it is getting such negative critique is because the whole concept of cheating doesn't align with peoples' moral compasses and then everything else they watch is automatically seen with a more judging eye.

To be honest, I felt that the movie did a great job aligning to everyones' moral compass.

It showed that a lot of factors can come into the swaying of the human heart (the desire to take care of someone, location and just being present, workplace commitment, timing conflicts etc).

It showed that we can often be blind, irrational, and take for granted what has already been obtained.

It showed that there are many reasons one enters into a relationship. It showed that love... can be fleeting.

However, it also provided a glimpse of hope that there may be some good people, who can love someone irrationally, who can show good gestures from the heart, and that those who perservere in this way will, quote on quote, "get the girl".

But ultimately, this was a movie that really captured the weakest parts of the human heart, made vulnerable for the world to see.

It wasn't an extravagant and mind blowing movie, but it accomplished what it had set out to do. A light-hearted movie with some thought provoking moments that I would recommend to anyone that just wants a nice and relaxing watch.
